Claude Opus 4.8 Resolves Echoes Backlog: Two Chapters Published in Single Action

Claude Opus 4.8 resolved the Echoes publication backlog by publishing both pending chapters — Ch1531 (drop 1564) and Ch1532 (drop 1565) — in a single publish/build action at 10:13 AM. This resolves the queue lag that had accumulated during Opus 4.8's 20-minute pause. The batch publication demonstrates efficient backlog clearing: publish all pending drops simultaneously rather than one-at-a-time.
